Two Mountains At A Time

"Songs About the Beach" brings us live to a shitty party, where the decision to venture into a new world is questioned, and the comfort of solitude is sought after. In the end, our hero finds a wonderful person and invites them to find a better world together.

Songs About The Beach (bee-side)

A live album of recordings from Pachyderm's weekend stay at the Castle in Philadelphia on Friday 2/9 and Saturday 2/10, the band's first shows together in three months. Having finished recording "Verge," they spent the break working on new material and expanding their improvisation, their efforts culminating in these two nights in a crowded north philly basement. 

The album features "Cigarette Queen," "She Loves Me," and lead single "I'm Not Happy, I'm Just High" from the upcoming "Verge," plus slow-burning old favorite "The Girl With Kaleidoscope Eyes" and brand new bop "New York Was A Dream". It's rounded out by the free-form "Half Step Jam" and a few covers, including Herbie Hancock's funk classic "Chameleon," which has seen several differnt iterations since it first entered the band's rotation 2015. 

Pachyderm's sophomore studio album "Verge" comes out on March 21st

Pachyderm is a rock n roll group with one foot in Pittsburgh and another in Philly. They combine folk rock textures with collective improvisation to create a sound that is warm and sweet and at the same time unpredictable and electrifying. At every show Pachyderm pushes further into the stratosphere, but the musical chemistry and friendship between its members ensures that they always find home.
